Stress and trauma are inherent in the lived human experience. No-one is immune to that. And I believe all humans are resilient. However, you may have noticed that your capacity to move through stress is impacted by what you have gone through. It's what happens when we lack the external and internal resources. Expanding our capacity (be it emotional, physiological, and spiritual) allows us to respond to life, rather than react. Therapy is a together process, where feeling safe, seen, heard, and understood are the main ingredients to change. I bring a sense of curiosity and care, and empower you to lead with courage and confidence.
My focus is helping people with lived experiences of childhood trauma, sexual abuse, grief, and anxiety. I offer a bottom-up approach to change, that allows you to access your body, and emotions by moving from overwhelm, to a place where you will feel a sense of self- compassion, and self- agency. I am present and patient as you learn a new map to navigate.
I believe that "No-one can do it for you, and you cannot do it alone" and it's okay to ask for support, and guidance when in doubt, or in crisis. What your heart and mind longs for, is your guiding compass to the life that you envision, or hope for. I will join you, and support you to getting there, one small step at a time.
